"Two studies released Sunday may act like brakes on popular social-science assertions that gay parents are the same as — or maybe better than — married mother-father parents. "The empirical claim that no notable differences exist must go," University of Texas sociology professor Mark Regnerus said in his study in Social Science Research."
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2012..."Two new studies challenge previous claims that children raised in gay households are no worse off than those raised by married heterosexual parents. In a survey of 2,988 adults aged 18-39, those raised by lesbian mothers had negative outcomes in 24 of 40 categories when compared to children of married heterosexual couples."
http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2012/June/..."People who reported that their mother or father had a same-sex relationship at some point were different than children raised by their biological, still-married parents in 25 of the study's 40 measures. And most of the time, they fared worse. The children of parents who at some point had a same-sex partner were more likely to be on welfare, have a history of depression, have less education and report a history of sexual abuse, the study found."
http://abcnews.go.com/Health/video/child...Surveying nearly 3,000 U.S. adults, ages 18 to 39, about their childhood and lives now, considering details about income, stability of relationships, sexual abuse and mental health history. Out of the respondents, 163 reported that their mother had been in a same sex relationship, 73 said that their father had done the same. Mark Regnerus associate professor of sociology at the University of Texas at Austin, said the study simply tried to answer the question of whether children of parents with same-sex relationships are different... seeing that there is a prevailing sentiment in the media,
that same-sex parented families differ little from heterosexual parented ones.
Now off the cuff it seems to matter little if there are scientific studies to show negative impacts from same-sex parenting... the real haters yell "Bigot" simply because the study was done. Just think of the audacity of Professors conducting such a study, and not taking the liberal media's word that same-sex parenting is the greatest thing since sliced bread... seriously! One thing that we can be assured of is the assassination of the character of the participants in the study, the study's documentation, and the credentials of the University. If the outcomes aren't in-line with the gay agenda,
promoted by Democrat's Obama... it is sure to get the guillotine!
But here is some thing to consider about a government that wants more people dependent on the welfare system, depressed and on anti-depressant drugs, with less education, subjected to more sexual abuse to keep those abortions going...
it would seem a no-brainer for Democrats to politically escalate the acceptance of
such a family description. All inflamed feelings aside... look at the facts.
I say "FINALLY" someone with some gonads to stand up to the 'tidal wave' of heterophobia... that seems to emasculate politicians on the cutting edge of their careers. IF someone exposes the facts, or recants their faith in the 'gay promise land' ...or merely is strait and unapologetic... and God for bid, they don't forbid God, their political death warrant is signed sealed and delivered. But I like Mark Regnerus' unapologetic, nonpolitical style when asked...
"Q: Why did you undertake the study about adult children of parents who have same-sex relationships?
A: Two reasons. First, because I thought I could pull together a diverse group of people to figure out how best to test the "no differences" hypothesis. And second, because it's an interesting research question, and I don't mind navigating controversy a bit. I'm at a point in my career where I'm less concerned about making my professional peers happy and more about studying interesting things. In particular, the "no differences" hypothesis seemed quirky to me. I wondered if it was really true."

Children of gay couples are disadvantaged — because of family instability."
